This courses talks about:

  1. Agents and parallel work: cowork helps in running workflows with multiple agents and in parallel (whereever possible).
  2. It will explore, plan, and then execute and can be steer anytime
  3. plugins makes the cowork more powerful. There are plugins from anthropic and community ones too.
  4. Every agent has its own memory.
  5. Claude cowork get access to folders on local system rather than uploading/downlioading resources.
  6. Debugging, how to use cowork for non-coding tasks
  7. permissions is the most important part

Finished the most of the lessons from Claude

  2. Advanced MCP

  3. Subagents

  4. AI limitations

Mock Exam

I bought Mock exam from Udemy. Tbh, this certification is new and getting a good and trustworthy mock exam is hard. So, I just went with mock exam with less negative rating.

I took first attempt and got 75% exam (passed)
